Austin-based Camille’s Ice Cream Bars USA has signed a multi-unit development agreement with Saudi Arabian group, Radium Holdings. The initial development calls for 15 locations in 5 years with the first two opening later this year in Riyadh.

“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an excellent market for our products as the people are fans of sweet treats and the climate is so hot. Camille’s is about helping people find their smiles and just about everyone loves ice cream!” said Rome Gregorio, chairman and founder of Camille’s Hand-Dipped Ice Cream Bars. “We are proud to partner with Mr. Al-Arifi and Radium Holdings. Together, with Camille’s passion for quality hand-made frozen products and their (Radium’s) expertise in real-estate development, vision for growth and leadership, we are sure to see rapid expansion there and the entire GCC.”

“We at Radium are delighted to have Camille’s to introduce in the Saudi market for locals and expats,” says Eng. Al-Arifi. “Parents are growing more concerned about their family’s health and entertainment needs. With Camille’s production of quality products made fresh daily with no additional additives and preservatives, we knew this is what we wanted to bring to the people. We are proud to offer this to our clientele.”
